About Giving Hope to Tucson

      Giving Hope to Tucson was founded through a shared vision to serve individuals and families facing financial hardship within our community. What began as a calling and a dream has grown into a community outreach organization focused on providing meaningful assistance to those going through difficult times.

      Founder Tom Wedic felt called to create a Christian-based outreach foundation dedicated to helping people in need. After sharing his vision with Les Waters, who also had a passion for helping others, the idea for Giving Hope to Tucson began to take shape. Together, they developed the organization with the goal of creating a compassionate, community-driven resource for those experiencing unexpected financial strain.

      Giving Hope to Tucson continues to grow with the support of dedicated board members Ken Everson and Rachael Benge, along with volunteers and supporters throughout the Tucson community. Through donations, community support, and applied grants, the organization is committed to providing real help to real people when they need it most.
